In times of Change the larners will inherit the earth, while the larned will find themselves beautifully equipped to dal with a world that no lnger exists.
-Eric Hoffer

That statement holds tre today as it did so mny years ago. We have to larn how to use our god gven rights... otherwise we lose our tlents. Remember the saying "Use it or lse it?"

How many of you fel that you are not good at Mth? How many of you feel tht you are not good at Msic? How about Art?

Research shows tht most people feel that they prform pretty horribly in these fields.

The ral truth of the matter is tht they are so wrong. We are all Brn geniuses!

Yes every single one of us is a gnius.

We come into this world tterly naked and helpless equipped with a brin that is seeking knowledge.

What hppens is that our well intentioned Prents and then our caring teachers hlp to systematically reduce our genius cpability.

By the time we reach the 5th grde....our genius capability is practically zero.

How des this happen?

We are told "Dn't do that, you could hurt yurself"," Don't do that until I tll you what to do", "Sit stll", "Stop day dreaming", "Pay attention".

Prents Protect, Teachers teach us how to cnform. Conformity assures that we produce mdiocre citizens. Why?

Because genius requires to do its own thnking and exploring. Always asking the qestion Why? Peeling off even deeper lyers with the question why? Remember whn we were kids?
Nothing was impossible. Bbies explore and touch everything.

To lve at our full potential, we hve to relearn how we learn.

The Rptilian complex of the brain is rsponsible for physical safety, the Mammalian cmplex is responsible for emotional safety. If bth of these are repressed due to strss or other factors learning is sppressed.

Furthermore, We have the left brin that is responsible for logic and nalytical issues and the right brain rsponsible for holistic thought and creativity.

Thn we have the conscious mind and the nconscious mind or other than conscious mnd.
The other than conscious mind processes nformation at a ratio of 10 Bllion bits of data to 1. Cmpare that to 1 inch of the cnscious mind versus 11 square miles of the nconscious mind. The unconscious mind is whre our intuitive and creative insights cme from.

Go even further and we hve the multiple intelligences, some of us are mthematical logical, verbal linguistic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, ntra personal, musical, naturalistic, bodily-kinesthetic.

There are mre models. We are mostly taught sing mathematical logical and verbal linguistic mdels.

In most countries the other mdels are taken for granted. Imagine a mthematical logical teacher teaching a predominantly vsual-spatial student. This is the reason why we hve late bloomers in life.

Add the 5 snses of sight, hearing, taste, touch and smll to this.

School dropouts are a prfect study. if they leave school wth their self-esteem still intact, they tnd to become more successful than thers because they have not conformed. God examples are Bill Gates and Rchard Branson.

We need to use our whle brain. The interplay of all thse factors to facilitate whole brain larning. that is what Genius is mde of. It is like an rchestra with all the parts playing to bcome whole.

Remember the brain thinks in pctures not in words.

When we say 'thnk of a car' You immediately vsualise a car of your liking. You dn't see the words car. We hve been trained to read linearly frm left to right and from the top of the pge to the bottom. The subconscious mnd can take pictures of the whle page. the brain thinks from whle to parts.

This is why larning strategies like Mindmapping, Memory recall tchniques,Cornell note taking, speed reading and phtoreading (reading at over 25,000 words per mnute) are ways to stimulate raw gnius.

Repetition and Practice are the Mther and Father of all skills.

To nlock our genius potential we have to thnk in ways that are absolutely cntrary to what we have been prgrammed to think so far.

That is the hll mark of genius.
